As you can see, the people of Fanning Island get plenty to eat, at least the dancers. I'm assuming they eat lots of fish and fruit with some chicken and pork mixed in and probably no processed foods. I wonder what about their diet or lifestyle contributes to their weight. I do know that civilization has started to take its toll. We were told there is quite a drinking problem with the men.
Many of the people, including children were missing teeth or had rotting teeth. We were told not to give the children candy because this is a major problem. They have no dental care on the island.
